Has Social Security Told You You've Been Overpaid?

Information from Community Legal Services of Philadelphia on “overpayments” received from the Social Security Administration - when the Social Security Administration (SSA) says they gave you benefits when they shouldn’t have or paid you more than they were supposed to. If SSA thinks they overpaid you, they will want their money back. If you do nothing, SSA will collect the overpayment by taking money out of your checks.
